Base unit of measure can not be changed since EAN is already assigned.

Hi,
We would like to change the UOM from EA to SET .In order to tag MM # as BOM Header and ZCEN (Serial number profile)but the error massage appears as below print screensystem is not allowing to do so ,throwing following error message:
"Base unit of measure can not be changed since EAN is already assigned."
Could you help to resolve the same.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi,
Thats correct you must be getting Error message M3 341 ,
EAN international article number is tied with material number in basic data view with EAN Category and seperate number range
EAN is a standardized unit that uniquely identifies a material relating to a unit of measure or type of packaging.
The International Article Number (EAN) is assigned by the manufacturer of the material. In this case, the EAN identifies the
manufacturer uniquely. A company can assign EANs using "in-store" numbering techniques known only to the company.
If you still want to change UOM you need to first remove the EAN assigned..please explore further if you have internal number range
for EAN or external ..etc
Thanks

  • How to correct CIF error Base unit of measure does not exist?

    Dear experts,
    I'm trying to cif a location product with base unit of measure KG in R/3 and alternative unit of measure well maintained.
    it gives me a CIF queue saying that
    "Base unit of measure ZXX does not exist (Product 0000000000000XXXXXX has not been created)"
    I do not understand why, the unit ZXX does not exist in the alternative unit of measure for any of the materials managed
    I also checked CUNI table and ZXX is not there neither in R/3 or APO,
    Thanks for your help
    E

    Looks like the Alternate UOM --Zxx is not maintained in APO.
    2 ways to do this:
    (1) program- RSIMPCUST
    Re transfer all your UOM settings from R3 to APO
    (2) Manual Maintenance in APO:
    SPRO>SAP NETWEAVER>GENERAL SETTIGNS>Check UNits of Measurement

  • Base unit of measure values  not loading into the cube.

    HI Xperts,
    i have created a generic data source and in that i took unit as base_uom and one quantity keyfigure and in my cube i have taken 0base_uom and a quantity key figure infoobject.
    in transformation i mapped the  base_uom(source) to 0base_uom (target)and soures quantity KF infoobject to targer keyfigure infoobject.
    after loading the data into my cube..i am getting the values for quantity keyfiure infoobject but for  unit (CS,IT) i am not getting any value in my cube.
    so in my report also the for a specific quantity unit value is showing ERR.which is wrong.it should show me as CS or IT(10CS or 15 IT etc).
    Can any one help me on this?
    Regards,
    satihs

    > in transformation i mapped the base_uom(source) to 0base_uom (target)and soures quantity KF infoobject to targer keyfigure infoobject.
    This is not how you map Key Figure and Currency in cube..
    First check in RSD5 whether you have Unit Infoobjet assigned to the key figure.
    in Type/Unit tab ..you have to assign 0BASE_UOM to your Key Figure.
    Then in transformation from DataSource to Cube  : connect both the Unit and Key ( in source) figure to target KF.
    In Rule Detail you have to select .
    Target Unit = 0BASE_UOM
    Unit  = From Source
    Source Unit = Your source field name for unit
    Let me know after doing all these whether are getting unit field in cube

  • I have an airport extreme base unit and utility can not find it

    I have a 5th gen airport extreme router which works just fine with I plug in an ethernet cord to it … however when I want to use anything else (iPad, iPhone) my router is not showing up in any of the airport utility scans … my wife said yesterday it popped up a question and she either accepted it or said yes and since that point it has not shown up at all … on mac, pcs, iPad, iPhones nothing … I've even tried to do a hard factory restart of the base station and it still hasn't worked ... any ideas?

    Hi wusid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps to try if the Airport Extreme isn't appearing on your iOS devices:
    AirPort base station doesn't appear in AirPort Utility 1.3 for iOS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4601
    This article would be for troubleshooting on the Mac:

  • Can we change Base unit of Measure ?

    Hello,
    I got a requirement to change the name TO(tonne) base unit of measure in MM01 into MT. Is it possible to achieve this if ys share me the procedure.
    In short when i click F4 help in base unit of measure in the place of TO i want to change it into MT.
    Thks

    If u want to  change the base unit of measure... firstly do the conversion method... MM02 (If the material is a finished or semi finished) -> Work Scheduling View -> Put the UNIT OF ISSUE (MT) and then give the conversion factor unit measure.... and save...
    if u want to change the base unit of measure... Change the MRP PRofile and then change the Base Unit of Measure...
    It is better to consult PP and MM Consultant....
    I think you got the solution... Give me the point....

  • Follow up material with different base unit of measure

    Hi all,
    I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
    Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
    The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
    The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
    Please, expain, where does it maintain?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hello Peter,
    You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
    As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
    Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
    Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

  • How to maintain space between value and base unit of measure in sapscript

    Hi Guys,
    I am working on an upgradtion project, i have problem like while upgrading from 4.6b to 5.0. i need to main a space between value and base unit of measure. can anyone letme know how to maintain in the form. I mean in sapscript.
    Thanks,
    Yogesh

    There are a couple of ways to handle this,  if you need a bigger space between, you can use tabs in the paragraph format.  Or you can just write the space in between the fields like so.

  • BOM Unit Different from Base Unit of Measure

    Dear PP Experts,
    I have following Scenario in some of wires which are .
    Base Unit of Measure - Coil
    Conversion Factor
    1 Coil - 100 Metres (Already Maintained in mm01)
    Suppose, one manufacuring item consist of 0.5 Metre of Wire. We want to use Metre in BOM, how can we use it.
    Please help, full points if helped.
    Ishu

    Dear,
    In material master you maintin alternate unit as meter in plant data/storage 1 as unit of issue This will default this unit in BOM item
    In the BOM, in the component enter the above material code and enter the qty as 0.5. system will default meter as the unit of measure in BOM.
    Please come back if required

  • Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

    Hi
    1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
    2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed.  The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting.  -
    Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
    3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
    is this means open / pending purchase orders  or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
    4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
    is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
    5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period  - -
    how can we do this???
    Vijay

    See this OSS note : especially the last sentence:
    From OSS note 138767
    Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.
    In particular, the following checks are performed:
    The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material
    No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit
    No proportion/product units must be defined for the material
    No configurable material must be assigned
    The material must not be used as a configurable material
    Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period
    No physical inventory must be active
    No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
    No planned orders must exist
    No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
    No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist
    The material must not be a bill of material
    The material must not be contained in a bill of material
    The material must not be used as a production resource/tool
    The material must not be used in task lists
    No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period
    No production orders must exist
    No planned independent requirements must exist
    No run schedule headers must exist
    If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned
    No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed.
    Solution
    If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
    1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
    2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
    3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
           it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
    4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
       today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
    5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
    Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
    Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
    Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

  • QM_Change of base unit of measure not possible

    Dear QM Experts,
    Scenario is,
    1.     Material master created with QM view activation.
    2.     The Base Unit of Measure kept as EA
    3.     Inspection plan prepared for material with usage 5 and status 4.
    4.     Material has not undergone any purchase order / production order / routing or any other transactions except inspection plan.
    5.     No movements have done and the stock is zero
    6.     The requirement is to change Base Unit of Measure from EA to KG
    When tried through MM02 system throws an error message as The base unit of measure cannot be changed; choose "Display errors" Message no. M3189
    When viewed through log another information gets displayed as Routings already exist that are assigned to the material. Task list type Q.
    I tried through trial and error method. First material assignment was deleted from task list, problem did not resolve. Thereafter deletion flag put to task list. No impact. At last entire task list deleted. Still system does not allow changing unit.
    Has anybody faced the same problem ever? Whether deletion of task list (By T-Code QSR6) from data base will server the purpose? What are the obligations that one must follow while execution QSR6?
    Or if there is any other solution to this requirement?
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,
    Anand Rao

    Hi
    *What are the obligations that one must follow while execution QSR6?*
    By this T code  Deletion is very much possible provided that
    If there are no stocks of the material in the current period and in the previous period
    If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
    a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
    b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
    If no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements exist for the material
    Material Is used in any task list/Rauting.
    Now as per your schenario I hope you have checked Inspection lot & PR,PO.
    Error showing Q type of task list.
    Go to PLKO & MAPL table for this material & group & Gr counter check the entry.
    Check deletion Indicator in both the tables. If it has status "X" then this task list is very much possible to delete through QSR6.
    I hope this will add some value to your Execuation.
    Regards

  • Changes in Base Unit of Measure

    Hi,
    We got an issue,User tried to change the Base unit of Measure from NO to KG.
    1.For this material we dont have stock in unrestricted and quality,But it has reservations. 2.It has got Scheduling agreement,3.This material is used In BOM.
    So if i cancel reservations,then remove this item from scheduling agreement and delete it from BOM.Will it work further to change the Base Unit of Measure.
    Please Do help me in this matter
    Thanks and Regards

    1) You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
    •No stocks are available for the material.
    •There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
    •At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
    •Item is not linked in any BOM as chield part
    If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
    2)  Solution
       As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
    1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
    a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
    b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
    2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.complete all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
    3)Delete item from BOM
    Then
    1.     Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
    2.     Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
    3.     Save the change.
    3) System checks
    If a change criterion (Trnx. code MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in point 1).System allows changing base unit of measure. Otherwise it displays warning or error. U can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1)

  • Changing Base Unit Of Measure in Material Master

    Dear All,
                  We need to change the base unit of measure of certain materials who have been assigned inspection plan. We have deleted the material from Inspection Plan and later even the plan. But still the system not allowing to change the BASE UNIT OF MEASURE. The error thrown by the system is : Material is assigned to inspection Plan.
    Please guide in this regard as changing the material for us will be a very cumbersome act.
    Regards

    Hi Rohan,
    Please check 'display errors' in MM02 when you are trying to change the BUoM. It will say what prevents you from doing that.

  • Change base unit of measure

    Hi,
    Its me again. I need to change the base unit of measure of a material but a task listw as created via QP01. I tried to delete this via QP02 but i still cannot change the base unit of measure. Is there any way except for deleting the task list via CA98?
    Thanks.
    Elen

    Ellen,
    Unfortunately the answer to your question is no..You have to use a transaction like CA98 or QSR6 to delete the Inspection plan from Database. Please take necessary authorisation and delete this plan.
    Alternately set this material to with deletion flag and client & plant level status, so that you cannnot use this material any longer. Now create a new material with correct Base unit of measure and use this material.

  • Sale unit of measure is not copied into Delivery from MF60 staging

    Hello all,
    we are using MF60 for EWM staging. Component has base unit of measure as M2. For production purposes, issue unit of measure was set to KG.
    I managed to get KG in MF60 during staging, but Outbound delivery created contains however unit M2. This is unit of issue from sales org1 tab. I changed this to KG, but still M2 is coming.
    Please let me know if you know what is the problem.
    Thanks in advnace!
    Regards, Andrey.

    Hi Andrew,
    I think this issue is nothing to do with EWM. You can check with your SD consultant why sales UoM not getting copied into delivery. May be because of some delivery type or delivery item type settings.
    I had same issue for over delivery tolerance, which I raised with SAP and they advised to use the customized BAdi to get it done.
    Thanks,
